Kettering Half Marathon and 5k 2025 Video
Kettering Half Marathon & 5k
Sunday 8 March 2026
It's back for 2026! With a choice of a half marathon or a 5k race, there is something for runners of all abilities. Participants in the half marathon will start at Wicksteed Park, heading into the town centre and then the grounds of Boughton House, before finishing back at Wicksteed.
The 5k route starts and ends at Wicksteed and takes in parts of the town centre. Kettering Town Council is organising the event in March 2025.
The race will take place on Sunday 8 March 2026, and places are now available to book on the Run Through website. The race is licensed through RunBritain/UK Athletics, officially measured and open to runners of all abilities.
Local road closures will be in place for the duration of the event, but there is a strict time limit on the race to minimise any disruption. Early bird entry costs £24 for the 5k and £32 for the half marathon, and includes chip timed results, post-race refreshments, free official event photos plus a themed medal.
